It's like a sandbox for the terminally violent.

Digital Extremes revealed a few details today on the multiplayer aspect of Pariah, a new sci-fi shooter built on the Unreal engine. One of the main features included will be the Pariah MAP (Make and Play) Editor. The new editor draws inspiration from the tools available in the Unreal Tournament series.

The Xbox crowd will be able to share their custom creations through system link, memory cards and Xbox Live. PC users will get both the Pariah MAP editor and the full suite of Unreal Ed tools.

The new editor boasts a forgiving learning curve while still providing the depth needed by hardcore modders. Also, Pariah will ship with old favorites such as Deathmatch and Capture the Flag, but will also introduce new modes called "Siege" and "Frontline Assault."

"While the game is centralized around an intricate storyline and an immersive single-player experience, it would be against our nature not to include a robust multiplayer component in the game," said James Schmalz, founder and creative director of Digital Extremes. "Our goal with Pariah is to deliver the full gaming package: inventive, immersive and above all, fun."
